Well, I was there--on the EASTERN side of the Wall--and, trust me, it was very different than you may have been told. Finally, here is the truth of that day through the perspective of a journalist with decades of experience (and no sleep.) With pictures and a link to the Video of the Historic Occasion.\u003cbr\u003eNow that we know that the historic opening of the symbolic Iron Curtain was the result of a careless error by a bored communist apparatchik in a hot, dull press conference; this book brings even more perspective to this event. I was at that news conference and I heard that crucial announcement.\u003cbr\u003eSadly, I don't speak German.\u003cbr\u003eAnd the rest, as they say, is history.\u003cbr\u003eAnd fairly funny.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ronin Robot Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47080876409072,"sku":"2940152016925","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940152016925_p0.jpg?v=1764016842","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940152016925","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
